COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBrewed in the style of a mid-19th century English Festival Ale, this unfiltered wheat beer displays a translucent orange color topped with a creamy, white head. Wheat enhances the mouthfeel of the beer and produces pleasant bread-like notes while Michigan honey provides a caramelized sweetness in the flavor profile. This beer is spiced with orange peel and coriander and small amounts of three hop varieties pleasantly counterbalances the sweetness.

Unclear medium orange color with a small to average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting - diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, honey, light wheat, light moderate hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100806]

An unclear beer with a thin disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of oranges, and a dusty hoppy note. The flavor is sweet wheaty with clear orange notes, leading to a dry wheaty end. Quite nice.

Draught@The White Horse, Parsons Green. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, wheat, some caramel as well as mild nectary notes. Flavour is fruits, wood, some mild notes of wheat as well as some spices.

(I suspect this is an old bottle, but there is no date on it) Small off white head atop hazed amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, toffee, light orange. Taste is moderately sweet, toffee, some earthy, orange, light lemon. Medium body, some acidity. Not bad, but certainly not what I was expecting from an American Wheat.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Hazy amber color with a frothy beige head. It’s got Xmas spice aromas. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is spicy, but it’s got a little dirty graininess. Seems to be some ginger or similar. It gets better with time. Tastes like it came from Belgium. Spice takes over at the finish. Interesting drink. Bet it was a hit in 1850.
